ASSET INC. NAMED 50 BEST FOR SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR
Toronto, CANADA – ASSET Inc. has been named as one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies for the seventh consecutive year, achieving Platinum Club member status. This prestigious honour was presented to ASSET Inc. at a black-tie gala evening in Toronto, on February 25th, 2008 where all Best Managed winners celebrated their success with their executive management teams and fellow honourees.

Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies program was created in 1993 to recognize successful Canadian companies that have proven to be innovative and responsive to changing economic conditions and profitable.

The program profiles Canadian companies that have outstripped their competitors, created thousands of jobs, produced accelerating revenues and excelled both domestically as well as in foreign markets.  The National Post, Deloitte, CIBC and Queen's University sponsor the award.  

Platinum Club status is in recognition of those outstanding companies who have sustained a standard of excellence and leadership in all areas of their business practices and have qualified in the award program for at least six consecutive years.

“Once again we are thrilled to be sharing the stage with the crème de la crème of Canadian companies,” said ASSET President William Meany.

“In business you are often judged by the company that you keep. I can’t help but feel I am in great company. A company is a mirror that reflects the good work of its employees and I am grateful to have some of the smartest, most innovative and dedicated people on our team.

This award is also a reflection of the loyalty of our customers and partners who continue to recognize our expertise, passion and commitment - and challenge us daily to provide innovative solutions that provide value to their businesses while allowing them to focus on their own unique core competencies.”

ASSET has grown year after year for more than thirty years, providing services to the leading banks, financial institutions, lenders, insurers and credit grantors in Canada and around the world.

As a result of heightened market recognition of the fundamental business value of ASSET solutions, 2007 has been a year of unprecedented growth for the company. In response to this increase in demand, there has been a significant investment in both physical and technology infrastructure.

“Our ability to retain and attract the most talented and committed employees in the industry is key to this expansion.  Our recognition as one of Canada’s 50 best companies clearly plays a large role in this area.”

The past year saw a continued investment in security to ensure that all products offer market-leading availability, confidentiality and integrity. Additionally, cross-product integration was refined in response to clients leveraging multiple ASSET products throughout their business operations.

“I have the unique privilege of working with customers that are recognized as the most forward thinking and progressive leaders in their respective fields.  Collaboratively, this year we initiated the process of helping them automate new business processes. We look forward to furthering the expansion of ASSET’s offerings into new markets in the coming years.”
